Possibly the OP is confused about the meaning of the obscure word "market".
It means somewhere you sell stuff.
It has nothing to do with investment or jobs.
As the UK is a relatively wealthy entity of 65m people who all speak the same language as the US, forgive me if I am not entirely surprised.

If the Markets (FTSE, Dow, etc) are anything to go by - it's gone down like a lead balloon!

Nearly got a full house.

Suggest you try harder, outside investors merely buying up UK assets in the way of trade is of NO benefit to the country, in fact the record of US financiers and companies buying UK companies is bloody awful.
If any of this was true investment in developing, expanding or creating new companies in the UK, that would be good, it isn't, this is just trade in UK assets, obviously to profit the traders.
Sadly you're another of these Tory indoctrinated types, who seem to think activity in the financial markets is good news for the country, at times it can be good news, but in the main these are traders doing what they do, no more no less.

The, I must keep running the country down mantra is wearing a bit thin.
Most people take out of the survey that business people from around the world have more confidence in the UK's future than others.
Your misunderstanding of what it means is illuminating but sadly nothing new.
Still you and your coterie have to keep denigrating the country and its prospects because of your politics.
I on the other hand welcome the international vote of confidence as it means jobs and a better prosperous future for the next generation.

So you enthusiastically vote for action which deeply harms the country and have the cheek to accuse US of denigrating the country!
Not one job, not one pound of investment follows from what you have said.

Well even with your alleged international business expertise tell me how do you turn the following into a negative;
UK overtakes China to become US CEOs’ favoured growth market, and has also become more important for CEOs worldwide
Record levels of confidence among CEOs globally, with UK CEOs especially optimistic - 82% of them believe global economic growth will improve over the next twelve months
75% of UK CEOs plan headcount increases*
Really ?
Just in case you missed it during your career;
headcount
/?h?dka?nt/
Learn to pronounce
noun
an instance of counting the number of people present.
"a headcount of the miners showed a total of 116 men present"
a total number of people, especially the number of people employed in a particular organization.
"reducing the total headcount to just over 7,000"

Meaningless drivel, you are the one running the country down with your enthusiastic support of selling of assets to all and sundry.
Not overly keen on foreign investment, but investment is still good news, when that investment relates to expanding or creating business, when that investment merely relates to buying up brands and trademarks with all too often actual production going elsewhere, that is bad news, just look at the Cadbury fiasco, I know that Mondelez have now said they are returning production back to the UK, whether this is due to handouts, or pressure isn't clear.
Getting that production back will?? be good news, but it illustrates just how the big multi corporations can do just as they please once they have control of a company.
The big corporations and financiers are not some fluffy, philanthropic benefactors, they are in the job to make profit for themselves, shareholders and clients, this is simply the way it is, but don't imagine for one second that creating jobs, providing income, comes even close in their actions.
For the majority of working people, they couldn't care less if company XYZ makes gazillions of profit if there is no return for them.

More Great Post Brexit News
Optimism about the global economy is particularly high among UK CEOs, with 82% anticipating it will improve during the year ahead - up from 77% last year. This contrasts with business leaders in the US, China, and Germany who are less optimistic than they were a year ago. Moreover, almost one in five (18%) UK CEOs think the global economy will improve significantly, compared with 11% of global CEOs.
With regards to the UK economy, 73% of UK CEOs believe conditions will improve in the next 12 months. On headcount, three in four (75%) plan to increase the number of people they employ - a 16 percentage point rise on last year’s 58%.
What does this mean? Is it the case that UK CEOs qua CEOs have reasons for greater optimism vis-à-vis their non-UK counterparts?
Perhaps the United Kingdom's CEOs, generally insofar as the PwC survey is representative, will do well out of BREXIT. There has been a trend of UK companies' depressed market valuation leading to their acquisition by US and other foreign buyers. Partnerships including UK executives and outright takeovers seem to come with generous payouts for UK executives. [Just a casual speculation, of course.]
Methodology
PwC surveyed 4,446 CEOs in 89 countries and territories in October and November of 2021. The global and regional figures in this report are weighted proportionally to country or regional nominal GDP to ensure that CEOs’ views are representative across all major regions. The industry- and country-level figures are based on unweighted data from the full sample of 4,446 CEOs. Further details by region, country and industry are available on request. Ninety-four percent of the interviews were conducted online and 6% by post, by telephone or face-to-face. All quantitative interviews were conducted on a confidential basis.

Unfortunately, your misunderstanding of the reports finding is not even illuminating anymore.
What you should read into it is the CEO's including our own have confidence in the UK's economy above others.
IE they believe it's on the up not on the way down.

To your credit at least you ask a pertinent question.
We are in a Global Market where the worlds business leaders think we are doing well and will continue to.
I know for some on here that's dreadful news as it doesn't fit their politics.
For the rest of us who benefit from the Business activity it's great news.
We are a magnet for investment in the future technology we all need.
Britain leads way in tech investment
Britain is leading the way in an investment boom in Europe’s technology industry, with more than $100 billion of venture capital deployed this year, three times the level of that in 2020, according to a report.

This is the good news we all need.

Is it 'doing well' or is it easy pickings they are looking at, many companies have been taken over then stripped of their assets & technologies, loaded up with debt and sent to the wall.

No it's inward investment mainly in people and the first class environment we offer.
The very fact that we keep producing attractive companies and people is good.
